For long he had kept her, for long he had played with her. Soon she'd be left at the mout of the Silverwing lair. Sleeping soundly and somber. It almost seemed like a death like sleep. Her hibernation in many ways. White scales tipped in a ominous reminder of gray, a reminder that nexus could do as he pleased.

Around her neck was a note and a bow.

The Mate,

As I said, tests will need to be past. Do not think that just because she is laying here I have given up on your challanges. This next one will be quite amusing for me to watch. Enjoy. And remember cherish her or I will take her back.

Nexus

There she would sleep. There she would dream. The time she had been lost, obviously quite more effective then should have. Perhaps working in nexus' favor? It wouldn't be known until she had woke from her slumber by her mate. For he could only wake her now.

It was the first time the two mates had been together in so very long. To feel his paw graze at her cheek. To feel his lips upon hers. It was enough to bring her to a light stirr. One blue eye opened and then the other, but they were fogged....they were glazed over. She could not see his face.

His scent was there, oh it was so wonderful. Where had she been, why couldn't she see" She was so lost, she didn't even know where she could be. Her head turned, lifting upwards for a moment. Blinking several times, trying to gain her sight, but nothing came.

Slowly she turned back towards the scent of her beloved mate. Sniffing for the crook of his neck, a strong scent point on him, and buried her face within it. A loving nuzzle given even if her mind was racing and horror was rushing through her. A whimper left her and she let words faintly leave her maw," I can see your eyes, I can't see your face....My Love what has happened to me?"

Deep in the abyss the challanges were made. The nexus by now was enjoying his game. He wanted to see what it took for the dragons to pass his test. One problem at a time.

Nexus cursed Tiamatus for his loving devotion. It seemed he would have to go a step further in order to make his point. It seemed moments past where the mates would be wrapped in a tender embrace. Sharing their devotion for one another when suddenly Snow was carried away. Swallowed by the darkness for a matter of meer moments before she appeared sleeping again. Nexus was getting desperate, interested still in how the white's mate just kept passing tests. Another note was wrapped around her pretty neck in a bow.

THE MATE! (It was obvious by now Nexus was getting annoyed with the devotion.)

I WARNED YOU! I warned you to be mindful of thy fate! Now it is up to you to save your mate. She has lost everything, best run, or she will wake with a start. For you are no longer a memory, except perhaps to the heart. Doubt it though. (Little did Nexus know) I've taken her memories and unless you can make her love again she will go back through life until she becomes what she was when she first arrived in this miserable world.....An egg. Time is ticking....Tick. Tock. Best run now or take control of this test. You only have a few weeks.

Nexus

Snow had been wiped of all her memories. Her darling mate and children forgotten at the hands of nexus. This was not a good thing to say the least. It was cold, it was cruel, it was by far the worst thing Nexus had done to the Silverwing and Shimmerscale clan since the disappearance of Icer, which turned out to not be Nexus' doing at all.

Snow would sleep for quite a few days. Odd dreams floating through her head. A silver dragon would swoop before her and clutch talons with her. His emerald eyes would lock with hers and they'd fall. But the dream would end and she would roll from side to side.

Soon however the slumber would slip away and she would wake. But still she didn't look from the wall, something telling her to take a deep breath. Almost feeling a twinge in her chest that felt very much like great amounts of heart ach.

That silver dragon replayed in her mind and her paw folded over her head. Whimpering as she held her head and sniffled. Why couldn't she get that dragon from her mind. Her head was pulsing and throbbing, almost as if she knew a name, but couldn't recall it. Her form began the shrinking process, but it would be a slow change for now.

It wasn't that Snow was trying to forget her mate, she desperately wanted to remember the one who looked to her with love and devotion. She couldn't remember her mate. No matter how hard she tried. When she heard his name, it make her heart skip a beat, but she drew no reconition. It was strange how he had these emotions directed at him and she didn't know him.

Something in her gut told her that she loved him. That she cared about the silver dragon before her. She could remember that much. Blinking a few times she canted her head. Curiousity taking her to heights while she lay there," That fall....Why were we falling?"

She was talking about her dream, just hoping that was all it was. She didn't even remember what a mateship flight was, or what it was like.
